Turkish Flags Hoisted On Flag Poles
Like other cities and towns in other countries in the world, Istanbul displays the Turkish flag proudly from aluminum and steel flagpoles. Istanbul is maybe one of the bigger cities in the world; it certainly is one of the most impressive ones! I traveled to this area back in 2007 for educational purposes. As of last year, the city counts 13 plus million inhabitants, which is roughly 20 percent of the whole population of Turkey. The country’s flag is commonly available online and made available through selections of all kinds, including international flags for sale!
The Turkish flag is a red colored banner (field) that features a white crescent moon as well as star in the center of the flag’s field. Also referred to as the “moon star” or the “red flag” at times, it is officially called the “red banner” in the Turkish national anthem. Interestingly, the currently maintained design of the Turkish banner is based on the late Ottoman banner or flag, which received its final shape and form back in 1844, some one hundred and fifty years ago!
Turkey is officially called the Republic of Turkey and considered a Eurasian country located in the western part of Asia, and southeastern Europe. Some of the other countries that border the republic are: Greece, Armenia and Iran. Interestingly, the Mediterranean Sea borders Turkey to the south; the Black Sea does so to the north. The Turkish Straits are the bodies of water that separate Europe and Asia.
Greece and Turkey may have seen better days or not. These two countries have had somewhat of a bad marriage for many years, if not decades or centuries. One area of conflict has been the island of Cyprus, which is located in the Mediterranean Sea, south of both respective territories. Considered a republic in our day, this island is officially called the Republic of Cyprus.
Today, Cyprus flies it’s unique state ensign or flag from all kinds of flag poles throughout the island. A map of the island is featured in or on the banner that was adopted officially back in 1960. It is displayed in the color yellow, thus referring to the deposits of copper for which Cyprus has been known since ancient times. The island itself is located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
Those interested in purchasing international flags for sale, which includes the Turkish national banner and such, consider the better quality ones that are likely produced from more durable materials. Nylon is one such material. If hoisted on flagpoles other than a Turkish type flagpole, consult with your local flag etiquette expert on the specifics in terms of guidelines.
Some little acts of maintenance helps prolong the life-span of your banners, flags and flag poles.
